Vertuo Plus Deluxe Coffee and Espresso Maker by De'Longhi, Matte Black

This machine is a total game-changer for late-night coding and study sessions! The coffee quality is incredible—way better than anything I can get at the campus cafes. The one-touch operation is super convenient when I'm half-asleep at 2 AM trying to finish a problem set. The crema on the espresso is rich and creamy, and the variety of pod options means I never get bored. It's quiet enough not to wake my roommate, heats up in seconds, and the used capsule container is easy to empty. The sleek matte black design looks amazing on my desk. Worth every penny for serious coffee lovers and students who need quality caffeine fast!

Nice compact machine. Makes an excellent brew. Does have some quirks though... Not sure why, but the machine seems to always be in sleep mode. So your fist touch does nothing. Like, open it up - nope. Have to try again. Left it open to air out and want to close it later? First try does nothing. Why, Nespresso? Second quirk: quite a loud catching click that doesn't sound good when the top closes over a pod. Doesn't seem good. A bigger machine I used to have didn't sound this way, so it can't be the piercing of the pods. Lastly, pulling off the water canister you should be careful - it takes a bit of force. I hold the base down, then pull, so that I don't break the plastic connect arm. If you can live with these minor quirks, you'll love this thing. It's working well for me.

Brew speed is fantastic and it looks great on everywhere. Not very loud and works really well with the best crema that you can find from home. Hot coffee comes out at perfect temperature. Size of the machine fits in anywhere in home.

I’ve used it for about a week now. All the coffees I’ve tasted so far have been great. Coffees come out a little foamy, but not the end of the world. Espressos come out perfect which is the reason why I got it so it works for me.

I’m so excited for my new Nespresso machine! The noise level is low and the coffee quality taste is great. The water tank is very functional as it holds a lot compared to an older model I had.

We love our Nespresso coffeemakers, at least the ones that work properly. Because of the superior coffee quality, we like to use Nespresso coffeemakers in our Airbnbs. The Nespresso coffeemaker we just bought (our third) is a dud. Right out of the box, it serves lukewarm coffee. There is no way to adjust the heating element so that it makes a properly heated cup of coffee. Our other units have worked fine and produce nice, hot coffee and have done so for years. Not sure if new unit failure is a quality control issue, inadequate testing, or if they’re using cheaply manufactured parts. Doesn’t matter. What matters is the coffeemaker is inadequate and unusable. You shouldn’t have to place your coffee in the microwave right off the Nespresso. We are seeing this more and more from manufacturers. Disappointed. Going to send it back. Such a pain.

This was a Chanukah gift for my husband. He is now a coffee addict. He adores this. He has also started making his own blends which he says is easy. It is fast and every cup whether one shot (1.2 oz I think); 2 shot pod (2.7 oz) 5 oz or full coffee cup (7oz) has a beautiful crema on it every time. We use mainly decaf and sometimes blend two flavors. It is a one touch to lift; one touch to lower and one tap to start. So simple, decadent and delicious.

For many years, I enjoyed my every morning cup brewed by Starbuck’s Verismo with my favorite Starbuck’s coffee pod. I was content. Then the thing wore out. The machine itself was discontinued, and the coffee pods were no longer produced. I was a sad sack. I tried Keurig and other coffee brewing methods, and while they all produced coffee, none had the same bright zing as my beloved Verissmo. And so, I discontentedly slugged down my French pressed cuppa every morning for the years since. I’ve seen the clever Nespresso ads with Clooney and DeVito. I never thought they were speaking to me, but those ads did lodge somewhere in the back of my mind. Then I came across Nespresso on sale. I had to think about it for awhile because I had to research if this model was right for me. I settled on it, finally, and that was the moment I made one of my few right and good decisions. It’s like the Vertuo Plus is a doorway to a new dimension. A whole new world has since opened up to me. I am happy to get out of bed in the morning because I know what is waiting for me. The machine is very well made. Nothing flimsy or cheap about it. It is engineered so all the parts fit exactly right. The hydraulic action on the open and close of the pod compartment is endlessly fascinating. It makes me feel futuristic and high brow like I am the owner of a gull-winged car that costs a bajillion dollars. It’s the coffee that really is the star, though. There was a sample pack of Nespresso pods included and every one of them are my new favorite. It’s difficult to describe the difference from other coffees, but this is like the stuff you get at a great coffee shop. But better. Right in my kitchen. Every day. It makes my place smell wonderful and it’s all now part of my morning ritual. Before going to bed, I make sure there’s water in the reservoir, I select my coffee pod from the endless variety they offer, put my cup in place and in the morning, there is only one button to press to open the doorway to the land of the living. If you are still hesitating, I tell you to not bother. You want this.

Fast shipment good product

I was happy with the service provided by the supplier for the installation

Coffee is good but after about 50 capsules it’s gotten louder. Vibrates while spinning and if I push on the lid it stops vibrating. I’d look at a different model and do a little more research. Also, if you live in Canada you can’t redeem the offers it comes with which was another reason for purchasing this one
